One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Dexter who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
